Cryptocurrency
 
Maddie's presentation will focus on understanding Bitcoin as a money and Bitcoin as a technology. We will also briefly discuss Ethereum, Central Bank Digital Currencies, and how to identify legitimate blockchain ventures (as time allows). The goal is to provide you with a jumping off point to explore cryptocurrencies more deeply. If you have any specific requests feel free to email cryptoclear@tutanota.com and Maddie will do her best to build these topics into the presentation.

Our meetings will be conducted with Zoom. Zoom is free, and runs on desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. You can also dial in on an old school phone or cell phone if you just want to listen in on the meeting (and talk.)
